Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit on your vehicle, it is recommended that you
begin by washing and drying your car thoroughly, as it will allow you to
evaluate the surface of your vehicle for the presence of various defects
needing correction. Defects fall into two basic categories;Above Surface
Bonded Contaminants: These include industrial fall out, paint overspray, tree
sap mist, bird droppings, etc.Below Surface Defects: These include fine
scratches, swirl marks, etching, oxidation, etc. Above Surface Bonded
Contaminants often cannot be seen but they can be felt. Run your clean hand
over the paint of your vehicle immediately after washing and drying it. Does
the paint feel “as smooth as glass”? If not and your paint surface is rough to
the touch, this is an indication that you will need to clay your car using
Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit.The roughness you feel is the presence of
environmental contaminants such as over-spray, fallout, brake dust, tree sap,
etc., that have bonded to your paint finish. No amount of wax car waxing will
remove these contaminants. Applying car wax on top of bonded contaminants
takes effort and inhibits the adhesion of your wax. Further, these
contaminants reduce your paint’s reflectivity, preventing your vehicle to
shine to its full potential. Below Surface Defects generally cannot be felt,
but they can be seen, especially in strong, direct light. Good lighting is
critical to evaluating the surface of your paint, because most cars will look
good in the shade; therefore we recommend that you inspect your car’s finish
in direct sunlight or under strong fluorescent lights. ClayingClaying is often
thought of as a difficult detailing process that should only be performed by
trained professionals; but on the contrary is a very simple process that
usually can be done fairly quickly. With the proper use of the claying bar and
Meguiar’s Quik Detailer (included in the Smooth Surface Clay Kit), the clay
will quickly, but gently remove bonded contaminants on your vehicle’s painted
surfaces. This will leave behind a surface that is completely contaminant free
and will be evident by your ability to smoothly glide your hand against your
vehicle’s paint.A Few Tips About ClayingTo make the claying process easier,
you don’t need to apply much pressure, just enough to control the clay. It is
important to keep the area well lubricated while claying and once the area
feels completely smooth to the touch, wipe it dry and move on to the next
section. Continuing this process, section by section, will allow you to clay
your vehicle in a uniform manner. Keep the following points in mind when using
Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit;Claying removes “bonded contaminants” on
your paint’s surface; and not “below surface” defects like swirls, scratches
or etchings. You can clay any painted, glass or chrome surfaces.Claying will
enable clear reflections and allow car wax to adhere to the paint better and
last longer.Split one 80g. clay bar into two separate pieces. That way if you
drop it, you still have one good piece of clay.Knead your clay bar into a
flat, round wafer in order to use it.Use a mist and wipe product like Quik
Detailer as a lubricant.Important: If you drop your piece of clay on the
floor, replace it with a new one.What’s in the Box?Meguiar’s Smooth Surface
